"God is still in the business of healing," McClure said, adding, as part of the ministry, "I'm living one of the most exciting times in my Christian walk."

No appointment is necessary to seek the ministry's "sensitive prayer for those in need of healing," its brochure says. "It is a ministry committed to serving the sick through the ministry of God's healing Word, the power of His presence and compassionate prayer."

Ministry hours are Wednesday, 2-5 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m.-noon.

Healing team members, who come from 13 churches -- making this ministry ecumenical, Logee said -- have been carefully selected and trained and have provided a pastoral reference, according to information about the organization.

Involvement of additional churches continues to be sought, Logee said.

In fact, one of the organizations' goals, as stated by the International Association of Healing Rooms, is unity in the body of Christ, through breaking down denominational walls and linking healing rooms and churches around the world.

The local organization is accountable to state and regional leadership.

Among the diverse backgrounds of the multi-denominational team serving Healing Rooms of Wooster, "all have a desire to see the sick and hurting healed," Logee said.

Their purpose is not to give medical advice or to counsel, she clarified.

The public is invited to two upcoming events.

Healing Rooms of Wooster will sponsor an open house and tour of the facility, located at 2148-H Eagle Pass, on Saturday, 1-3 p.m.

An additional open house and tour will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Oct. 9 when Healing Rooms of Wooster will hold an annual fall banquet beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Memories Party and Conference Center on Back Orrville Road in Wooster.

Banquet speakers will be Jim and Dianne White, Region 2 directors for the International Association of Healing Rooms, Spokane, Wash.

Tickets being sold at $25 per person will include the meal, the opportunity to win door prizes and registration for a silent auction.
